[Casper] Errors during imaging

[Miles Leacy]

Is this happening on a wired or wireless connection?
Have you had trouble with this part of the network before?
Where is your Distribution Point in relation to your client?

Is it always the same packages that fail, or does it vary?  It looks like
your Adobe CS2 package is what failed here.  Depending on your version of
the suite, that package can be more than 2 GB.  That's quite a chunk of data
to push around.  Of course, I imagine your Leopard OS image is probably
around 3 GB.  However, if you've got network concerns with this remote
office, I'd try putting a distribution point on the remote office's local
network. I don't like pushing images over a WAN link.  I've done it, but
with varying results.
